“President Costner, didn’t you ask your subordinate to take Madam Costner and Suzie’s hair back to Neah Bay for DNA testing?”Titus’ assistant, Warren, rushed over. “The test report is already out. Please have a look at it.”Titus took the phone from him to look at the report, which indicated that Suzie and Sheryl were not related. Given that the DNA grandparentage test was performed between them, the percentage surely would not reach 99%. However, after the medical staff in the Costners’ top hospital analyzed Suzie and Sheryl’s DNA samples based on genetics and biology, they discovered that the two of them shared 50% of their DNA. As such, Suzie must be Sheryl’s granddaughter.If Suzie was Jeffery’s biological granddaughter, Sheryl would just be Suzie’s grandaunt.The DNA between Suzie and Sheryl would be practically identical.Warren said furiously, “We’ve been tricked by Rebecca. Apparently, the hair that Young Master Costner used for the paternity test before belonged to Cat
“Uncle Titus… Okay… I’m relieved to know that you’ll be around.”In front of the French window, Catherine hung up the call with a smile.In truth, she was not confident about the general meeting tomorrow. Now that Titus had said that he would show up, Catherine felt as though the weight in her mind had finally become much lighter.“Get out… I don’t need you to teach me…”“Fine. I’ll get out. Given your attitude, I won’t even come again even if you beg me tomorrow.”“...”All of a sudden, a commotion rang out in the corridor outside.Frowning, Catherine walked toward the door and opened it, only to see the teacher that she hired stomp out the door in a fit of fury.There were a few books scattered on the floor of the corridor on the second floor.Shaun stood beside the books. As soon as he saw the teacher leave, he glowered sideways at her with his dark eyes that carried traces of grievance and rage. He then entered the study and even swung the door shut heavily.“You rascal
Catherine had been staying here all because of Shaun.Without a second thought, Shaun answered, “Wherever you go, I’ll follow.”Catherine asked, “... Why?”“Why?” Shaun scratched the back of his head in a daze. With a pout, he replied, “I don’t know. I just don’t want to leave you.”Catherine did not know whether to laugh or cry. Should she feel happy or sad about it?“Shaun, let’s have a talk.”She walked up to him again.When Shaun gazed at her pretty face, he felt aggrieved. He snorted and turned around to enter the study. Catherine closed the door.Her eyes swept over the messy floor of the study. He must have thrown a tantrum during the lesson.Shaun gritted his teeth. As he fought back his tears, he suddenly stretched out his hands to hug her. “Cathy, I know it was my fault. I shouldn’t have called you a pervert last night. Are you still mad about it? I promise that I won’t make such a remark about you anymore. Please don’t leave me.”Pulled into his arms so abruptly,
“But… How am I different from Suzie and Lucas?”“Didn’t you realize that Suzie and Lucas are a lot shorter than you? Shaunny, they’re actually three years old. You say you’re two years old, but why are you a lot taller than them and even taller than me?”Catherine sighed and told him the truth, “The reason why I didn’t ask you to attend preschool is that the place doesn’t suit you. School isn’t a place where you should go either. In truth, you’re 33 years old. You’re six to seven years older than me.” “...”Shaun was stunned, looking completely lost.“Because something happened to you…” Catherine pointed at her head. “Something’s wrong here, so you think that you’re only two years old. I’ll show you what a two-year-old kid actually looks like next time.”Shaun, who had been under the impression that he was two years old, felt speechless.No, he did not want to know as he refused to accept the fact.“Cathy, am I really… that old?” A look of dejection washed over his face.“No,
It did not really matter to Suzie since she had thick skin.Unlike Suzie, Lucas pulled a long face. Catherine wondered if he was going to throw the textbook to Shaun’s face the next minute.“Enough. How can you mock Lucas and Suzie?” Catherine rolled her eyes at Shaun. “You already learned those things back then. The lessons just brought back your memories, which explains why you’re learning faster than other people.”“Exactly. There’s nothing to brag about.” Suzie rolled her eyes. “What a shameless old man. You actually feel proud when comparing yourself to us three-year-olds. I wonder who addressed us as ‘Elder Sister’ and ‘Brother’ yesterday. Shame on you.”“You…” Shaun’s face was flushed with anger. “I’m not a shameless old man.”“You’re a shameless old man.” Suzie grimaced.Infuriated, Shaun nearly burst into tears. However, he fought back his tears at the thought of his actual age.At the sight of the scene, Lucas curved his lips.“You guys are going too far. The three of
Catherine was speechless.Was it that obvious?She had indeed thought of eating him up, though.“No. I just think that you look very handsome in this attire,” Catherine put on a front and replied solemnly.“Really?” Shaun scratched the back of his head bashfully and chuckled. “Is it because you were dazzled by my handsome looks just now?”“...”Catherine was sullen that Shaun had seen through her. His IQ had improved so much within a day. Sure enough, taking lessons could make a difference. He had become so different after gaining knowledge from the lessons.“Not really. I’ve met many other handsome men. My heart doesn’t melt so easily.” A casual look washed over Catherine’s face.Shaun pouted. “Who? Who’s more handsome than me?”“People like Doctor Jewell and Rodney are also quite handsome but in different ways,” Catherine said as she grinned, “You need to accept that you’re not the only handsome person in the world.”Shaun tsked inwardly, thinking to himself that he would n
“Shaun Hill, will you feel uneasy if you don’t anger me for one day?” Catherine completely lost her mind and roared. “You actually spent 200 million to buy stocks? Are you crazy? Do you know how hard it is to earn money? You’re not who you used to be anymore. Do you think you’re still the richest man in the country?”She was utterly furious.As far as she knew, Shaun invested most of his money in Hill Corporation’s R&D projects.After Hill Corporation was acquired, he was kicked out of his position as chairman and president, and all he did was sit at home and live off his pants. Despite it all, he was still spending his money extravagantly.Did he think money fell from the sky? If they could not get Hill Corporation back, they might have to rely on these savings to turn their fortunes around in the future, yet what did he do? He poured it all into the stock market.Shaun froze at her roar. It was his first time seeing Catherine’s ferocity, and he was a little overwhelmed. “Is 200
The security guard and receptionist recognized Shaun and Catherine but were purposely making things difficult for them.Now that Shaun was livid, his aggressive aura came bursting and both the security guard and receptionist felt a sense of fear.At the same time, they wondered in their hearts, ‘Didn’t Shaun Hill become stupid? How is this stupid?’“Get lost.” Shaun grabbed the bodyguard’s collar and flung him to the side.Then, he said contemptuously, “You can’t even raise a finger against me. How did a piece of trash like you become a security guard for Hill Corporation? You must have come through the back door.”“You… You’re courting death.” The security guard flushed red with anger. Even if he was no match for Shaun, he did not believe that a group of guards would not be able to beat him.Besides, the new president already told them that they could humiliate Shaun Hill to their hearts’ content.He immediately summoned a group of bodyguards.Catherine only saw a flash before
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
